For what it's worth, I'm looking for ways to
make 'single drive caddy
sockets' for DEC StorageWorks and Compaq Drv/Try module interconnects.
This for the neatness factor of being able to take a encapsuled storage
module and plug it in as a 1-off standard SCSI drive. Basically just an
adaptor that goes from proprietary connector to standard, without having
to take the drive back out of the container. If anybody has seen this done,
send a message.
(probably available somewhere for something like $475.00 Yuk.)

Let me see if I've got this right. You're wanting to take and plug a
Storage works SBB into an adapter that then lets you plug just that single
SBB into a SCSI chain?
I've not seen this done, and I'd be more than a little leary of attempting
it. Remember, that a standard storageworks shelf moves a sizeable amount of
air through the SBB's for cooling. This is why the newer 7200RPM drives
can't be used in a BA353, and why they can't be used in older BA350's
without the 2x fan upgrade.
